Last night’s episode of PBS NewsHour featured a deep dive interview with songwriter, singer, and award-winning mandolinist, Sierra Hull. Taped earlier this year at The Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C., while Hull and her band were on their national headlining tour, Casciato took viewers from Hull’s early days growing up in Byrdstown, Tennessee, to present day—including releasing her first independent album, A Tip Toe High Wire and joining Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour later this month. Casciato and Hull discussed her genre-bending approach to music, her precision with the mandolin, and a childhood letter she wrote to hero-turned-mentor Alison Krauss.
